Artist's Comments

Self-inflicted wounds
This is a follow-up to my picture "Carving love" (viewable in my gallery).
I've added another picture to it. This one is the follow-up. The picture is
suppose to illustrate what happened after. The first picture Carving love
was made after I had problems with expressing how much I love a speciall
person. Now, months later I feel the same thing.
In the second picture you can see my arm in another position but this time
with stitches. The wounds healed and the stitches symbolizes that I've torn
up the pain again.
This is definetely a hard-interpreted picture. I'm sure of it. But I'll hope you'll
like the concept and somehow understand my feelings.

Comments are much appreciated. Very very much. A matter a fact it would
make me very happy just to know that someone is seeing it. :) (Smile)

Full view is recommended.

Your sense of art is very different from what I've seen lately. I have a respect for those artists whose art is expressed by/through/as a result of their pain. Even though part of me is screaming that there is something wrong with you, I will accept the fact that you are allowed to have your opinion, even if that be through self-mutilation. I guess this is where we can say, "Love hurts."

i think i clicked on this at first to see if it was just another 'fake blood' shot, chick laying on her side, ketchup hanging out of her mouth, eyeshadow bruise.
however, real pain, real wounds, are different.

i feel that the best art, the most truthful art, is a reflection of the artist's state of mind.. happiness, anger, love, pain...

and if the artist turns himself into a canvas, it is still art and beautiful.

i forget who said that the very act of living is art.

i have a female sign on my wrist from when my friend was raped.

this is a good work.

You cleaned the sink :) (Smile)
I loved the first one, I love the second one, good work as always my friend :) (Smile)

and I have to agree, you do have beautiful hands, I can't believe I didn't notice it the first time, I mean its not like I have a hand fetish or anything *whistles*

What sick ridiculous puppets we are and what a gross little stage we dance upon, what fun we have dancing, fucking, not a care in the world, not knowing we are nothing, we are not what was intended.

I understand the concept very much. Doesn't love suck? I have done this too many times, and in the end, it is all the same, over and done with. Great show of emotion!

pain is pain. physical. mental. all in one. and it leaves scars. I like the idea here... being cut. and then being 'healed. but the scar is there for good.
